“How many people, right now, are stuck in traffic on their way to ride a stationary bike in a health club?”
Congressman Earl Blumenaur posed this question to a packed room at the launch party for Cities for Cycling, a new project of the National Association of City Transportation Officials. Conceived by former Portland city bike planner Mia Burk, and current city traffic engineer Rob Burchfield, the purpose of the new project is to highlight and promote the world’s best bicycle transportation practices for American municipalities.
